Getting started

Introduction

Sendara is the email API for engineers and AI agents — send from your own domain with 99.99% delivery, in five minutes.

Sendara gives you one HTTP API and official SDKs to send production email: transactional and marketing, single sends and batches, with a full event timeline and webhooks. Email is the front door — the same API also carries SMS, push, voice, and webhooks when you need them.

Base URL

Every request is made over HTTPS to a single base URL. There are no regional endpoints to choose between.

https://api.sendara.dev

Authentication

Authenticate every request with a Bearer API key. Keys are scoped (send, read, admin) and come in live (sk_live_…) and test (sk_test_…) variants.

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxx
Test-mode keys simulate delivery without sending real email or being billed — and still fire your webhooks. See Authentication for the details.

Quickstart

From zero to a delivered email in about five minutes — no sales call, no onboarding queue.

1. Install an SDK

Use the official Node or Python library, or call the API directly.

2. Add your domain

Register the domain you want to send from. The response contains the exact DKIM, SPF, and DMARC records to publish — see Domains & deliverability.

curl https://api.sendara.dev/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "domain": "mail.yourdomain.com" }'

3. Send your first email

Once your domain is verified, one call sends an email. Idempotency keys are generated by the SDKs, so retries are always safe.

4. Watch it deliver

Every message carries an event timeline. Poll it, or subscribe to webhooks for delivered, opened, bounced, and complained events in real time.
